O jazz é feito de notas azuis, um semitom abaixo da música mortal. À mistura com ritmos sincopados, chamada-e-resposta, swings, poli-ritmos e improvisações... Melodias e silêncios que se articulam ao sabor do humor da noite, acompanhados pelas vocalizações dissonantes do scat singing. Se o jazz fosse a minha vida, eu seria o sax tenor que ora nas fileiras de uma big band perdida nas quintas-feiras do Cotton Club.

Uma mulher. Um corpo, uma mente, um coração, uma alma. Dura, carinhosa. Desconfiada, crente. Chorosa, sorridente. Uma mulher, todos os mundos.
Music is a journey. Jazz is getting lost. - John O'Farrell in 'The Best a Man Can Get' (1999)
3 Somethin' Else:
Just a note:
For the first time in years, I went TWICE to a certain bookshop where I usually buy my lovely british/american friends... and for the FIRST TIME I didn't buy ANY book. Not one.
There were some books I would like to read, but nothing new, really. Am I becoming so picky I'll have to start ordering my books?!? Or will I end up resorting to amazon, although I feel it takes the pleasure out of the act of buying books?
I am sad...
... that same day I tried to buy a portuguese DVD, "Porto da Minha Infância" to offer a friend. The poor lad at the DVD department told me they are not allowed to have many portuguese DVD's at the store because they don't "sell"...
I know the feeling.
Sometimes I also think we're pretty limited. I DO order many of my books online. It's almost impossible to get a GOOD foreign edition around here... And I'm trying to put together a DVD colection of my favorite movies ever and I've only been able to get like 10%...
Anything that's go beyond popular or "alternative" doesn't exist. :( And it's a pitty.
